you the MAN Gary! That solved the problem! Personally, I don't like
docking or letting the computer dictate what is going to happen. With
two 22 in. monitors I have plenty of real estate to set up exactly what
windows go where and the size that want. I have the fonts set up on
most of the windows to a fairly large size as my eyes just don't work as
well as they used to. Going this Wednesday for cataract surgery on my
right eye and the other a month later. Thanks again, Cort K4WI

Cort and Shelby,
You get the small tabs below a window because they are stacked one on
top of another. The tabs act as a toggle switch so you can switch
between windows, Not a good thing to have with the Entry window! I've
found the secret is to first make the log window very large - take up
lots of screen real estate before you add any other windows to the
desktop. As you begin dropping windows into place on the log it will
adjust both horizontally and vertically to accommodate the size of the
new windows being dropped into place.
The solution for your stacked windows is to toggle the SCP window so
it displays on top. Now go to the upper right corner and click on the
little down pointing indicator. A menu will open where you set the the
window to either fixed or floating. In this case it is already fixed,
so change it to a floating window. When that is done resize the SCP
window to a smaller size and then left click on the top bar and drag
it off the Entry window to a new location. While holding the left
mouse button down and dragging the window around look for the various
arrow pointers - up, down, left, right or center. As you drag the
window over an arrow pointer it will show a blue box shape either
vertically or horizontally of the column or row it will occupy if you
drop it there. Just don't drop it on another window. After dropped
into position you can click and drag on a corner to change its size to
suit what you need.
I actually intentionally dropped two windows on top of one another -
the new QSO rate graph window and the normal rate window. That way I
can toggle between the graph to visually see my rate and the normal
window to see both the rate numbers and my time on air in the contest
so far. Works very well for me.
As a final note, if you are using two monitors they must be floating
windows to move to the other monitor and when there the arrow
positioning tool doesn't work. They must be dropped on the extended
monitor as floating windows.

hey Shelby, I can move it with no problem. Problem is that the SCP
window and the QSO ENTRY are combined .... only one is visible at a
time... small tabs are below the window and you select which one you
want visible... SCP or QSO ENTRY... totally undesirable ... I can find
no way to change this behavior... Cort
